Soon, numerous pirates had surrounded Rokujin and his companions, closing in tightly. “Hehe,” Rokujin’s face showed no concern; instead, he smiled meaningfully. Bluejam’s brow furrowed as he barked, “Boy, you’re still able to smile now?”
“Conqueror’s Haki!!” Suddenly, Rokujin’s eyes sharpened, his aura solidified, and he unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki. A powerful aura radiated from him as the epicentre, spreading outward. Any pirate caught in the wave of Conqueror’s Haki rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground. In a blink, only Bluejam was left standing, staring in shock at his crew: “How… how is this possible?”
He had felt a formidable presence, but fortunately, his muscular body and willpower prevented him from falling. “So strong! What is this?”
“Rokujin bro, what kind of move is that? How did you knock everyone out at once?” Luffy and the others also looked up at Rokujin, their eyes filled with shock.
“You’ll have it too, eventually.” Rokujin smiled and drew his sword, Reikaze slowly approached Bluejam, “Now, it’s your turn!” It was the first time he had used Conqueror’s Haki in combat. Although D-level Conqueror’s Haki seemed to have a limited effect on a fellow D-level opponent like Bluejam, it was as expected. Conqueror’s Haki acts as a level of suppression.
“Humph! Don’t think I’m scared of you!” Bluejam snorted coldly, lifting his giant sword and charging at Rokujin. Rokujin, fearless, swung his blade to meet the attack. The two clashed swords repeatedly, their movements accelerating!
Their swords clashing filled the air with sparks and ringing metal. “Ding! Ding! Ding…” The speed was so fast that Luffy and the others couldn’t catch sight of Rokujin’s figure.
“So fast!” Ace exclaimed. But as time passed, Bluejam was visibly struggling to keep up with Rokujin’s speed.
“You seem to be slowing down!” “Ah! Damn it!” Bluejam’s eyes reddened in rage, and he dropped his giant sword, aiming a punch at Rokujin’s chest. “Armament!” Rokujin smiled slightly, waiting for this moment, and used Armament Haki to shield his chest, blocking the attack.
“Thump!” A muffled sound! The powerful impact forced Rokujin back several steps, sliding across the ground. Thanks to the Armament Haki, he wasn’t hurt and gained quite a bit of experience from it. Ding, congratulations, host, ‘Armament Haki’ experience +50!
Finding a stronger opponent, Rokujin would take advantage of the chance to gain experience. Bluejam’s left hand was already swollen as if he had hit an iron block, but he had also guessed Rokujin’s identity. Only the Navy uses the Six Powers, like “Iron Body.”
“Kid! Are you with the Navy?” “Yes!” Rokujin nodded, stepping forward again. By now, Bluejam was frightened, instinctively stepping back: “If you’re with the Navy, then we’re practically family!”
“I have collaborations with the nobles of the Goa Kingdom. If you kill me, those nobles won’t let you off!” Bluejam’s statement revealed his desperation. Not only could he use an Iron Body, but his strength was equal to his own! He was not a match!
“Hehe!” Hearing this, Rokujin couldn’t help but scoff, “Nobles? Do you think those nobles would avenge you? Would they admit to collaborating with a pirate? In the eyes of the nobles, you’re just a tool!”
“Ah! You…” Bluejam realised the truth too late, speechless. By then, Rokujin was already in front of him, smiling lightly: “You better focus on fighting me; maybe you could win!”
“Ah! To hell with it!” Enraged, Bluejam swung his sword fiercely at Rokujin. The blow was powerful, but his heart was unsettled. Disorderly!
As Rokujin continued to fight, his Armament Haki kept gaining experience. Sometimes, he even let Bluejam’s sword hit him to gain more knowledge.
Ding, congratulations, host, ‘Armament Haki’ experience +30!
Ding, congratulations, host, ‘Armament Haki’ experience +20!
Ding, congratulations, host…
After about fifteen minutes, his Armament Haki finally levelled up to D+. Bluejam’s attacks began to give less experience. “Six Powers: Shave!” Seeing the change, Rokujin’s eyes turned cold, his right foot stomping the ground, suddenly accelerating. Instantly, his figure disappeared
With more substantial power, I can protect friends and companions! Rokujin, with a helpless expression, dragged them along, looking towards a nearby pile of trash and shouting, “Friend! No need to hide. I’ve already spotted you!”
“Young man, I didn’t expect you to find me!” As Luffy, Ace, and the others looked on, puzzled, an older man slowly emerged from behind the pile of trash. The older man wore a battered top hat and orange sunglasses, his hair was messy, and he had a pipe in his mouth.
Character: Naguri
Level: A
Skills: Conqueror’s Haki (A), Armament Haki (A), Physical Techniques (A)…
Seeing the man’s attributes, a flicker of surprise passed through Rokujin’s eyes, ‘I didn’t expect him to be so strong! But it’s no surprise, considering he once challenged the Pirate King!’ After a moment’s contemplation, Rokujin smiled and said, “It was just luck!” When he released his Conqueror’s Haki, he had a vague sense that another person with a powerful spirit was nearby. It turned out to be Naguri, who was Luffy’s first mentor!
“You’re too modest, young man, and your talent is not weak!” Naguri took a puff of his pipe, remarking with admiration. Not only did Rokujin have Armament Haki and the Six Powers of the Navy, but he also possessed Conqueror’s Haki! Such a talent is one in a million!
“Your strength is also formidable. I hope you can teach these three brothers of mine, as they may need your care in the future,” Rokujin said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace and Sabo looked confused, murmuring to each other: “Naguri! Isn’t he the one who the Sapphire Pirate Crew often bullies?” “Can he take care of us?”
